Directorate S: The Americans Podcast

This week we discuss Season 3 episode 11 of The Americans, “One Day in the Life of Anton Baklanov.” The fallout from last episode’s reveal continues this week as Paige struggles to re-contextualize her life. We discuss the parallel between Paige and Martha, both of whom are struggling to figure out who they are now that the truth about their situations is out, the struggles of being a pawn in the larger game, and the importance of Paige entering into Philip and Elizabeth’s sacred spaces. Nina continues trying to get close to Anton while the similarities of their situations are brought to the forefront. We tackle Nina’s options going forward and Anton’s unfortunate role in everything. Meanwhile at the hotel, Elizabeth cozies up to That Hotel Manager Guy, Neal, causing her to reevaluate her feelings towards all the things. Is Elizabeth heading towards a breakdown? Will Philip be able to keep it together? Does anyone come out of this not in prison or dead? Are you as excited for  as we are? Let us know using the links below!

310: Welcome to Adulthood. Sucks, Doesn’t It?

The third season of The Americans came to a close with a twist neither of us saw coming; join us as we discuss Season 3 episode 13, “March 8, 1983.” Martha lives to see another season, but we don’t see Martha, and we think that’s a good thing. We touch on the circuitous nature of the episode, the significance of rocking chairs and wedding portraits, unorthodox business meetings, Abasiiiiin Zadraaaaan, and the depressing nature of the season. Philip and Sandra meet up at EST, and it’s everything Rachael never knew she wanted, Amberlee worries that Stan hasn’t quite hit bottom yet, and we look forward to a season 4 full of Stoleg. How long will Nina stay in Siberia? Is Pastor Tim a dead man? Will Philip and Elizabeth stay together? Is there a defection on the horizon? These questions and more on this week’s episode of Directorate S.

The third season of The Americans came to a close with a twist neither of us saw coming; join us as we discuss Season 3 episode 13, “March 8, 1983.” Martha lives to see another season, but we don’t see Martha, and we think that’s a good thing. We touch on the circuitous nature of the episode, the significance of rocking chairs and wedding portraits, unorthodox business meetings, Abasiiiiin Zadraaaaan, and the depressing nature of the season. Philip and Sandra meet up at EST, and it’s everything Rachael never knew she wanted, Amberlee worries that Stan hasn’t quite hit bottom yet, and we look forward to a season 4 full of Stoleg.

313: Male Robot

 This week we discuss Season 3 episode 8 of The Americans, “Divestment.” Walter Taffet continues interrogating the FBI agents and we wonder how much of this is from Martha’s perspective. Aderholt stands his ground while Agent Gaad lets his frustrations out on Mail Robot. Rachael suggests that Elizabeth is a master manipulator and we continue to question if Mischa is real. How would Elizabeth react if Gabriel lied to her? Will Martha choose to stick by Clark? What research methodology did Paige employ? These questions and more on this week’s episode of Directorate S.

308: Interesting, By Which I Mean Horrible

  On this episode of Directorate S we discuss Season 3 episode 9 of The Americans, “Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?” Were you worried about Mail Robot, comrades? We sure were! And we are thrilled that he has not been forced into an early retirement just yet. This episode sure brought the sad with Elizabeth’s conversation with Betty. We spend some time debating whether or not this was too heavy-handed, the empathetic implications of Elizabeth’s tears, and this episode’s reliance on Lois Smith’s excellent performance. A lot was said about trust this week and we wonder how much trust Martha still has in Clark. Does she fear for her life? Has she made a choice to help him despite his obvious lack of affiliation with Internal Affairs? Where is she keeping that gun? We discuss Gabriel’s heavy-handed scrabble game and Philip’s explosive outburst. Is this a sign of things to come? Is Philip finally done playing with Gabriel? What is the etymology of “wedlock?” Let us know what you think using the links below!

309: Words With Frenemies

On this episode of Directorate S we discuss Season 3 episode 12 of The Americans, “I am Abassin Zadran.” Once again the future of That Robot is questioned. Did he overhear Stan’s conversation with Aderholt? Were those agents flirting? Has the toilet paper crisis been resolved?!? Amberlee raises the down with Oliana banner while we remain, as ever, uncertain about the correct pronunciation of all the names. We speculate about the impending trip to Russia, denounce throat slitting, and become concerned about the motivations of the increasingly creepy Pastor Tim. Rachael feels terribly for Lisa, Amberlee continues to think everyone will die, and we look forward to the season finale next week. P.S.

Season six episode six of The Americans, “Rififi,” had absolutely nothing to do with heists and we feel betrayed. We discuss the current status of Philip and Elizabeth’s relationship, Henry the voice of reason, and Stan’s unnecessary Thanksgiving toast.
